Housing for older people

Hightown offers housing designed and managed especially to meet the needs of people over 55, who have decided they want to move to a more suitable home of their own, whether they are retired or still working.

Leasehold

As a retirement leaseholder you also have additional facilities that ordinary housing doesn't have, such as:
  •    A community room with kitchen for social events

  •    A call system in every home which connects you to our Out of Hours Call Centre if an emergency occurs when the Scheme Manager is not on duty 
  •    Laundry with washing machine and drier for the exclusive use of residents
  •    Repairs service provided by Hightown for communal areas
  •    Pleasant gardens, maintained by Hightown
  •    Concessionary TV licence 
  •    Neighbours of a similar age who may have the same interests and expectations as you 
  •    Organised social activities
